Will Lance Armstrong Win Tour de France?

I joined Twitter a few weeks ago and found athlete Lance Armstrong tweeting there. It's been interesting reading his posts about his training and surprise visits from Anti-doping control.

With the Tour de France just a few short months away (July 4 -26) I thought I'd take a look at Armstrong's feng shui and see what his possibilities lie ahead for him.

July is a tricky month for him because the Flying Stars for the month match the Flying Stars for the year. That means his feng shui energy on his Success, Health, Relationships and Wisdom is double at that time.

This year Lance has the Conflict Star on his Success direction meaning that he's likely to get flack from his competitors even more this year than usual. People who do not like him or support him will be especially harsh in July. Expect name calling and more doping accusations to be hurled his way this month.

The Conflict Star on his Success may also mean that someone throws a monkey wrench into his efforts to win the Tour de France this year either before or during the race.

Another area you want to look at when you're looking at athletes is their Health direction. Lance has the Illness Star on his Health this year meaning he will need to rest more this year. During July the Illness energy doubles which could indicate unforseen health problems that come to the surface around race time or an injury that could prevent him from performing as well as he'd like.

If you know Lance tell him to go here to get his feng shui cures and activations http://www.timefengshui.com/ ...the sooner the better.
Hard work, unwavering vision and drive are certainly important. But they only make up 33% of your overall luck. Feng shui is another 33% of your luck and when you know how to work with it you can increase your odds of success.

Although feng shui has been around for over 5,000 years, it was only introduced here in the United States in the 1970s. Whenever I speak with people from California, Oregon, Arizona or other Western states they know what feng shui is. But here on the East coast I often hear, "Feng what?" when I answer peoples' questions about what I do or they think that feng shui is interior design. So, I thought I'd write an article to better explain what feng shui is all about.

Feng Shui is an ancient Chinese art that is focused on taking advantage of specific elements in nature to create a balanced, harmonious environment. Originally it was used to select the most auspicous location for burial sites then over time it was used by Chinese emporers and Euorpean kings for their palaces and more recently by Fortune 500 companies.
The Chinese believe that there are three types of luck:
Heaven Luck - which we would call destiny or fate
Human Luck - your talents, skills and what you do with them, the friends you choose, the people you work with
Earth Luck - your environment including the country you live in, the town, the neighborhood, your home and feng shui

They believe that Human Luck and Earth Luck are within our control. Since each of these types of luck make up 1/3 of our total luck that means we're in control of 2/3 or about 67% of our luck. In other words, if you create the right environment (Earth Luck) to support you in your personal efforts (Human Luck) then you have greater control over your destiny.

The way feng shui works is that there are 5 identifiable elements in nature: fire, earth, metal, water and wood. Each of these elements is associated with a specific direction. If the elements are located in the right direction then you have a positive flow of energy or what is known as a Productive Cycle of Elements. When these elements are in the wrong locations you have a negative flow of energy or what is called a Reductive or Destructive Cycle of Elements. The key is to get these five elements in the right location to get positive ch'i (pronounced chee or energy) flowing in your environment so that you can create a better life for yourself, your family and your co-workers.
